Benefits of technology

[0011]In view of the above problems, an object of one embodiment of the present invention is to provide a power storage device with high capacity. Another object of one embodiment of the present invention is to provide a power storage device with a long lifetime. Another object of one embodiment of the present invention is to provide a power storage device with high reliability.
[0012]Further, another object of one embodiment of the present invention is to provide a small-sized power storage device with high capacity that can be provided indoors.
[0014]According to one embodiment of the present invention, a power storage device with high capacity can be provided. A small-sized power storage device with high capacity that can be provided indoors can be provided. A power storage device with a long lifetime can be provided. The reliability of a power storage device can be improved. A power storage system using the power storage device can be provided.
[0015]When power storage devices of one embodiment of the present invention are widely used, as the number of houses that install the power storage devices of one embodiment of the present invention indoors increases, burdens of a power plant in a region where the houses are located are reduced, which can contribute to an effective use and a stable supply of power. Further, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the power storage device is charged in the night time when the use amount of power is small, and is used in the day time when the use amount of power is large; thus, power can be efficiently stored and used. Further, since the power storage device 101 is used in the day time when the usage charge of a commercial power source is high, the electricity charge is low and an economic merit can be obtained.

Problems solved by technology

However, increasing the capacity of the power storage devices increases the volume thereof.
Further, increasing the lifetime of the power storage devices decreases the volumetric efficiency, leading to an increase in the volume.
When the volume of the power storage devices is increased, it is difficult to provide the power storage device indoors; thus, the power storage device needs to be provided outdoors.
However, in the case where the power storage device is provided outdoors, it is exposed to rain or the like and thus deteriorates by moisture.
Further, in the case where the power storage device is provided outdoors, when the outside air is at a low temperature (e.g., in a minus temperature range), the power storage device significantly deteriorates, reducing the lifetime of the power storage device.
Inhibiting deterioration of the power storage device requires regular maintenance of the power storage device; thus, in addition to the cost for purchasing the power storage device, the maintenance cost and the like are further needed.
Consequently, burdens of the cost of a power storage device are large for an individual.
Even in the case where there is an enough outside space for installation of a large power storage device, it may be difficult to secure a carrying path for installation.

Abstract

A power storage system includes an AC / DC converter, a first control device, a power storage device, and a load. The first control device includes a measuring portion that measures the amount of power consumed by the load, a predicting portion that predicts the demand for power consumed by the load on the basis of the amount of power consumed by the load, and a planning portion that makes a charge and discharge plan of the power storage device on the basis of the demand for power predicted by the predicting portion. The power storage device includes a second control device, a DC / DC converter, a first battery cell group, and a second battery cell group. The power storage device is placed in an underfloor space surrounded by a base and a floor of a building.
